Barry Bonds, the former All-Star outfielder, has sold his Italian-inspired estate in gated Beverly Park for $22 million.

Designed as a family home capable of hosting large-scale events, the 17,100-square-foot villa sits off a circular motor court with a fountain. The 1.85 acres of grounds include a swimming pool, a 2,100-square-foot sports court and an olive grove.

Despite being baseball’s all-time home-run leader, he has failed to gain entrance into baseball's Hall of Fame. He was convicted in 2011 for obstruction of justice related to the government's investigation of steroid use and the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO).
